dbp:text
  • Some of my most formative years were spent in the appalling conditions of Burma in the last years of the Second World War. I was one of the lucky ones: I was neither captured nor killed. But I saw a lot of good men who were and I just think that those for whom they have laid down their lives should jolly well behave themselves. Those whom I have sent to Barlinnie or Saughton do not know how lucky they are compared to those poor bastards despatched to Changi gaol or the Japanese camps. (en)
  • found the office of advocate-depute most satisfying and in accordance with the best traditions of Scottish law and practice. It is misleading to describe our system as adversarial. The duty of prosecuting counsel is not to obtain a conviction, but to present the Crown case fully and fairly before the jury. He should not hesitate to abandon a prosecution if it becomes clear that a conviction would not be warranted. (en)
